WFB 9th Edition Rumor Roundup

[flipchuck]

Well that is some cool news. I like the fact that Empire will be in the starter box. I think I'll pick it up when it comes out. I wander what the other army will be in the starter set? And End Times will be compatible with 9th edition is very cool. But will End Times type games become the standard ggames for warhammer fantasy?

Who knows. I don't know how reliable Steve the warboss is, but anything that is 7 months out needs to be taken with a hefty dose of salt.

Since i really don't want to read all that text i will just ask............ Does this mean the Mixed army lists from end times would be a bad idea to build? (So tempted to throw Malekith in my high elfs with some other fun toys...)

I think the End Times stuff will still be compatible and is actually pointing to a new structure of some of the armies, so you should be safe. Granted, I'm seriously hoping that's how it is, because I've been working on mixed Undead, and have Chaos and Elves as well to mix (though the Elves might end up remaining on a shelf, as I feel dirty when I look at their rules in Khaine, and that's the main hold-up for me playing them, I feel like a cheesy jerk even without using a lot of their tricks).

Yup i would love to be able to mix high\dark elfs as i like models from both armys and my army scheme is based on Alith Anar............

I don't see the End Times going away. With so much invested (even just on their end!), it would be completely insane to say "hey, you can't use these anymore". Storm of Chaos was a teeny tiny thing. This is big. I say go for it; it's an exciting set of toys you can enjoy. Do so, if you're inclined.

Warhammer Endtimes/9th Edition Latest

-Empire will be the first Armybook of the new edition

I think it's entirely possible The End Times main objective could be to "squat" a few ranges, kill off some old characters to make room for new ones as well as adding some super generals (read WH super heavies) to each army which sell at a premium as who isn't going to want to own the supreme leader of their faction?. I know the idea of removing ranges is something people are saying isn't going to happen but certainly the Nagash and even more so the Khaine books (wow) gave every indication that was the case.

[Cap'nSmurfs]

Do they? Which ones? The only possible argument is Bretonnians, and I still don't see it happening. A substantial reworking, maybe, but I think the main reason Lileath is still around in the world is that she's the Lady of the Lake. That the one Elven god who sticks around is the one that's vital to the identity of another faction suggests to me that faction is sticking around. I'll believe this until shown otherwise.

I wonder if the new beefed up Karl will be in the new Empire army book.
